What kind of music do you listen to?

[flamekebab@piefed.social]

When I'm trying to focus I tend to listen to System of a Down or Rammstein. The rest of the time it tends to be pop music from the radio (usually BBC Radio 1) or lofi.

[jimmux@programming.dev]

Same. I can't even have understandable lyrics if I'm going to concentrate.

My work playlists are completely different. More cinematic scores, world music, ambient whatever. There is some metal that bridges the gap, but it has to be very death.

Why manually enumerate when I can show you all the data

[swordinstone@lemmy.world]

While coding for the past 2 years: Scooter. Normally my favourite genre of music is German Medieval Folk Power Metal.

[phr34ky@lemmy.world]

I've started listening to stuff like Babymetal because it's in Japanese and my brain doesn't get distracted by words in a foreign language.

IT is not known to be a very diverse field, so I guess it’s not surprising that some music would be more popular with our crowd.

I like post-punk, post-rock, shoegaze, synthpop, electronica, dungeon synth, ambient, chanson française, that’s mostly it. If I had to pick one all time favorite band Cranes would be it. Discovery of the moment is Dry Cleaning.

Babymetal is probably the best head down coding music I've ever experienced, have listened since 2016 or so

[wyrmroot@programming.dev]

Right now, a lot of MUNYA

[fxomt@lemm.ee]

Mostly Bach and MASTER BOOT RECORD.

I listen to DJ sets from DJs of São Paulo mainly (I'm living in São Paulo now), because I like to know the local techno scene. The main genres that I like are Funk (from São Paulo, check out DJ Bonekinha Iraquiana), electro (check out Cashu), techno (check out Kontronatura) and some house (check out DJ Bassan and Delcu)

[spicytaint@lemmy.world]

The Tunic OST if I actually need to focus on what I'm writing.

[jimmux@programming.dev]

I have some Japanese metal bands in the rotation for just this reason. Metal works in a lot of languages, actually.

[0x0@programming.dev]

It's probably easier to list what i don't listen to: most country, hip-hop, rap, overly-noisy metal (where you can't really understand what the singer's grunting about), most pop.
Lately i've been listening mostly to Tool, Jinjer, Asian Dub Foundation and Thievery Corporation.
Tomorrow, who knows, maybe Madredeus or Garbage (the old stuff).

[zod000@lemmy.ml]

When programming I tend to like music that is instrumental, like synthwave and chiptunes, as well as some light on vocals trip hop and industrial. I can listen to rock and metal too, but it tends to grab my attention more than I like when I am trying to get in the zone.

[bijectivehomomorphism@programming.dev]

Clicked when you were listening to pink pony club, awesome song

[bijectivehomomorphism@programming.dev]

Good Kid, Phoneboy, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, Andrew Garden, Landon Conrath, Mickey Darling, Kevin Walkman, Troye Sivan, Boygenius

I think those are the main ones. Also "Halloween" by Novo Amor is a banger

[mrkite@programming.dev]

Stuff like Tycho - Dive for when I really need to focus.

[greensofabed@lemmy.zip]

Drum and bass and electronic music. Techno if I want to finish something really fast. Lot of stuff without lyrics.

[alnitak@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Techno, dubstep, various game OST's, some metal, orchestral, and various pop songs my partner turned me on to. Quite a few touhou remixes too.

[majorhavoc@programming.dev]

Anything without lyrics. Same as others have said: synthwave and similar are great. Game soundtracks. Orchestra albums. Some metal.

Movie soundtracks are a another great resource for lyric-free music that haven't been mentioned much yet.
